this business model is well similar to shareware, which is fine if you are a small company because exposure is easy if you are offering something unique. all a user has to do is search software listings for tags and features.
its different when you apply it to the music industry tho, cos only hugely known bands can generate enough interest to make it profitable. you need a huge amount of downloads for it to work. so while it appears to be a stab at being more democratic, its actually very monopolist.
if the whole industry adopted this model then there would be no chance of new or smaller artists making any money at all.

nah. that just sounds like a boo-hoo'ing record industry trying to scare other artists from doing this.
self promotion is easier now than ever. just have to move away from the label oriented paradigm. this model can be implemented by small labels and web labels as well. It's relatively inexpensive which levels the playing field.

dunno, i hate how hi hats and cymbals sound on mp3's at 160kbps or less. all like crunchy or something. all like hitting a pile of broken glass instead of a hi-hat. not that this release will sound like that.

Since they are giving the album for free, will they get pissed if we download the 320's off bit torrent ?

Thom's only In Rainbows interview
Interview:So thom, what do you think of your new album?
Thom:it's shit
Interview:eurg.. really?
Thom:yeah, it's shit. I always think that about anything we put out. I mean, come on, we spent years fiddling about with stuff and working out we didn't like any of it. What makes this any different?
Interview:well, you decided to put it out
Thom:I know. well, we did it to stop me going mad. the ever revolving doors need to wind down eventually. we're like bullets in a gun, we need to be fired so the gun can be reloaded. i'm like America, the rest of the band can fuck off.
Interview:ok. tell us a bit about the record then?
Thom: there's nothing to tell. my fans have decided to paste all of our songs on youtube.
Interview: fair enough, but isn't that a good thing?
Thom: no, it's shit
Interview: it's shit again?
Thom:yes, it is. I thought that playing an entire album of new material would not end up on the Internets like that. I thought my fans were idiots. I can barely write words down properly on pieces of paper let alone predict how good people are with the Internets.
Interview:well, what do you want to talk about?
Thom:I'll talk about Jonny. I find him alluring, don't you?
Interview:you are married with kids.
Thom:I know, I just fantasise about busting a load on his buttock
Interview: we're wrapping up.

Well I was going to try to be funny and say how whenever I listen to Radiohead all that comes to mind are classic Sesame Street animations. Well, searching for some on youtube I discovered ¡Forward, Russia! and have to say I am quite pleased with this band as well.

I was just curious, nevermind. It would take too long to put there.
The first song is great, second so-so, listening to the third now. The production's much more fleshed out than what I was expecting (sub-par idm dooding like Amnesiac Eraser). Dowload was surpisingly fast also.

I seriously think a 256+ kbps release would have made this sound like an entirely different album. Take "Videotape" for example.
Its still good, but not the smartest move imho.

Around 6am this morning, while listening to httt i realised i shouldve been in bed hours ago. I turned the tunes off, flicked on the TV (as the news always cures my insomnia) and what should i see? thom yorke! Well it got my interest up so i waited for the story to come on half an hour later. Im so happy, i didnt even know it was finished. Yeah, actually i have been living under a rock. Downloaded it at 450kbps and am sat here enjoying it as i type this pointless story.
My favourite so far is All I Need. Reckoner has just started and is sounding good so far.
I wish it wasnt so early so that i could whack the volume right up.
